Valentina, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom and I appreciate you for how transparent you are in your video about your journey. I am a full-time certified mental health coach who also lost a parent within the past few years, and even though I work with people every day who are going through similar challenges, it is very different when it is time to reflect about myself. Thank you for the wonderful ideas and for the inspiration to also use my little hobonichi to start a healing journey of my own in 2024😊. Sending thoughts of continued healing and peace your way!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support!!!❤️❤️❤️🥺 it means a lot to me!! I’m so sorry you’ve lost a parent, it’s heartbreaking and nothing can heal it fast… I know it’s sometimes easier to be there for others than to fully dive into your own grief 😔 But we need it❤️ I’m with you, and we will get through this, I know ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing, please take care!🙏🏻❤️
First I want to say I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Despite going through that it seems like you've been able to keep your Hobo Weeks up to date in most areas. I enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you for sharing! I especially enjoyed your old tracker system (with the purples). I don't quite know what to do with my monthlies either. I will have one Hobo weeks for social media and one for health. I might use the monthlies to track step counts or water intake or something similar. I think you could use the monthlies for: 1. Trackers - steps, water, mood, sleep, cleaning, workout, weight, period, medication, meals, birthdays & special occasions, screen time, etc 2. A word a day in a new language or in your native one 3. Music of the day 4. Tv-shows or movies that you watched 5. Books that you read or listened to 6. A colour swatch for each day 7. A daily quote, 8. Gratitude 9. A sticker a day (as you've done) 10. Favourite moment of the day 11. A count down to a specific date 12. Daily achievement (something you did that you're proud of or that was a big deal to you) 13. A thing a day that you like or that makes you you 14. Decluttering - one thing a day has to go. What did you get rid of? 15. With a sentence describe what's been on your mind each day (ex: stressed about exams) 16. A thing a day that made you smile I hope this list helps or gives you some inspiration ☺
Ohhh thank you sooo much for your kind words and incredible help!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I feel a bit guilty that I’ve moved from my Weeks in the middle of the year, but it is what it is 🙈 This looks like an amazing list of ideas!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻 Thank you so much, I really love all of them and feel excited to try it out in my new planner!❤️❤️❤️
@@valentina.hudson you are most welcome! I’m just happy I could give back some inspiration to someone that gives it to me❤️❤️ And please don’t feel guilty. We all do what we have to, to make our planners work. Don’t forget, it’s your planners. You can do whatever you want! No regrets 💪🏾❤️ If you do use any of the ideas I sent, I would love a shout out ❤️ Thank you for creating great content. Stay fab! ❤️ Lots of positive vibes 🥰 /Annie
Thank you, Annie!! Will definitely do a shout out to you for these ideas! 😍❤️🙏🏻 Maybe I can even make a video based on them, so everyone who struggles with monthlies could have some inspiration!!😍❤️ What do you say?🥰❤️
Yay! Well done my planner sister. I've been planning for over 10 years and when my mom transitioned I had literally just found the best TN setup which was oddly just like the weeks vertical setup. Welcome to the missing mom club that no one wants to be a member
Also take your time as an engineer now technical program manager I thought I could assign a time to the grief stages it's been 9 years. After grief therapy, a short horrible affair with red wine and antidepressants. I'm just getting back to some emotional normalcy.
@techplannerbabe I feel you! 🥺🙏🏻 I tried to assign a convenient time to grief, but it just doesn’t work that way it seems… grief therapy is definitely on my list to try, because so far it just sort of comes and goes in waves. One day I feel happy, and the next day I’m crying rivers…😣 Sending you a virtual hug ❤️
i use monthlies to add in things i might want to remember the date of, or something that happened (i.e., i recently chopped nearly all my hair off, and i wrote that down. or when i saw a really cute dog). i also write down holidays, etc. there as well: i kind of use it as a dump of events i put in thre weekly pages. i also put down any significant purchases anf their payments i made (i.e., anything over $100). this is because i put all of these purchases on a credit card, so it helps to track when i made the purchase. once i’ve paid it off, i add a check mark next to it.
Your video popped up in my feed today, you have a new subscriber ❤ I am so sorry for your loss, and I understand the empty pages as well as your planner being your second brain while you are pushing through tough times. Virtual hugs from a stranger, I wish you strength ❤
Thank you so much for your support and for virtual hugs! It means a world to me! 🥺❤️❤️❤️ feeling so grateful that I can share my tough times with this community 🙏🏻 Planner people are truly amazing!❤️
I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom. You are doing amazing. Thank you for this video. I love your planner. The cycle tracking looked amazing! ❤ keep going!
I am sorry to hear about your mum ❤ I draw horizontal bars into the monthlies for highlighting holiday phases and longer events. There are just enough lines for this. That way I can see if something is overlapping and who is gone when. Looks nice, too. Plus I add two moon phases.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for the idea!!❤️❤️❤️ Never tried doing horizontal lines across the days, will definitely give it a go🙏🏻 will do a shout out to you when I try it!!❤️ Thank you!!
Came across your video today and I’m so so sorry for your loss. I loved the flip through and I’ve just subscribed. Fellow Hobonichi user too (when I get chance) lol xx
I don’t know whether it would be too personal, but your health 5 year notebook looks really interesting - I was thinking of using a cousin next year to track that and use the dailies for food/ venting idk but would be interested how you use yours. Really sorry to hear about your mum 💙 I found your channel today and I look forward to seeing more videos :) I know this is random but I studied Russian at uni (I’ve been lucky enough to go to St Petersburg once) and I love seeing the Cyrillic text :) xxx
Thank you so much for your support, I’m so happy to meet you here!🙈❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for the tip on showing my health notebook, I will definitely try to film how I use it! This is the first time that I do something like that, so I will let you know how it all works out 🙈 Oh my, you’ve studied Russian!!!😨😨😨 this is like the most difficult language to learn!!!😬 this is incredible, I’m in awe!🙈 And you’ve been to St Petersburg! This is my home town!!🙈🙈🙈 I grew up there, I’m so happy you’ve been there!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much!! My chicken scratch in russian is barely legible, so I’m absolutely impressed you’ve recognized it!!😄❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much again, it’s so nice to meet you!🥰❤️🙏🏻
I love how you use your planners! 🥰 Your SFD planner set-up is great! Why did you not opt for the Paper Tess Weekly planner? Did you also buy the clear cover from Sweet Freckled designs? Thanks for sharing!🤗
Hi!! Thank you so much!!🥰❤️🙈 I actually prefer some freedom in my weeks layout, I change it quite frequently, and Paper Tess has it set in stone🙈 BUT! I actually opted for her B6 planner this year 😅😅😅 So more planners to come! 😂 Yes! The cover is from SFD as well, and it’s perfect! Even though I think I bought an “imperfect” version on sale! ❤️
Hi!! Thank you!!🥰🙈❤️ Oh, about these stickers, they are the most wanted item right now haha! I found them on Temu app, if you are in States you can check out this link: share.temu.com/j4OBU1qVn5A But I’ve heard people from Canada say it’s sold out for them, so maybe you can try searching on AliExpress!❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss!😣❤️❤️❤️ Sending you love and hugs, please take your time and take care, all hobbies in the world can wait if they aren’t making you feel better right now ❤️ I needed to step away from work for almost 3 months straight, and it’s worth it, even though financially it was very hard. We need to be able to grieve 🥺❤️
Oh no… I’m so sorry, Amy🥺 this must’ve been awfully hard 💔💔💔 I hope I can learn to live with this pain someday, but for now I still can’t process that she’s gone. It feels like she’s just away somewhere… sending you love and virtual hugs, thank you so much for your kindness!❤️❤️❤️
@@valentina.hudson you are so so sweet. I mean after all these years the pain isn’t like it was. I’m not lost and numb if that makes sense. But it still affects me. All us girls need our mother.
